M.E./C.F.S. Issues

Hello! Foggy is snoring softly in Foggy HQ this morning, I’m letting him have a bit of a lie-in. He’s fidgeting so I know he’s dreaming about squirrel chasing! I’m making the most of the peace and quiet by writing this blog. As you know, I am in the process of setting up an online training …

Hi, I had a new symptom start around 6 months ago and, because of the infamous being ‘fobbed off’ incident, it was only investigated this week. Here’s what has been going on. I started to get pain in my right breast that could have been caused by any number of factors. I assumed it would …

Hello! Foggy is travelling to Christchurch, New Zealand and is surrounded by the bubbly loveliness that is first class (jiffy bag). To bide his time Foggy is going to tell you all about Sally’s issues with digestive problems. Sally has had problems with reactions to certain foods, bloating and discomfort (to name a few symptoms) her …

Trying to work out exactly what has caused a symptoms flare can often be a fruitless task, purely because of the complex nature of our illness but sometimes the cause of discomfort can be nailed down and prevented.

Hello! Devoted fans, Sally drives herself nuts by wondering if there is anything she did pre-M.E to trigger her illness. Maybe she shouldn’t have got so stressed over a breakup or maybe she should have looked after herself better. I’m sure she’s not alone in that way of thinking. I keep telling her it’s nothing …

Hi, Over the past 4 years, I have been struck by the sheer number of M.E/CFS sufferers who keep their health private. They are free to do so, that is their choice to make. However, as the founder of ME Foggy Dog, I waived that right to privacy in order to raise awareness. As you …

Hello, Foggy is on his way to China so I’m making the most of the peace and quiet. I’m writing this blog about driving because a few things have happened in the past couple of months that are worth mentioning. I have always been proud of the fact that I am a good driver. I …

Hi, This is an issue that has bugged me for years – how do people with M.E lose weight? Now I’m not talking about people with severe M.E who are often drastically under-weight because of the condition. This blog relates more to mild/moderate sufferers. I went to an M.E conference a few years ago and …

Hi, Foggy is on his way to Melbourne to meet up with the Emerge Australia gang. He can’t wait to see the lovely people who help so many of the ME Community in Australia. While he is away from Foggy HQ, I am busy organising events, doing promotion, and the usual awesome Foggy stuff that …
